Weird. Sounds like Breitbarts source on Nicaraguan prisoners being trafficked across the border. If a man spreads lies and disappears, was there ever a lie at all? /s

Oh, I concur. Just alluding to historical situations wherein interested parties ignored or withheld information in accordance with a broader agenda.

October 7th 2023, September 11th, 2001, and December 7th 1941 all supposedly had intelligence reports at least a couple of days prior from foreign sources. I am sensing possible geopolitical motivations here.

My comment and its underlying meaning imply that there isn’t enough time to put in a new candidate. Four months from November, there isn’t adequate time to get everyone necessary on board, and too much influence will bleed off to Trump. I mean put Biden in now, fix it after we’ve cleared the election OR put a strong candidate up NOW with unequivocal confidence and put all the money and skill available behind it. Not committing to a strong course of action now (one way or the other) is tantamount to sabotage.

This is a good example.

I get hot about this, @jeffw. You make a good contribution to the site, content wise. Perhaps I could try my hand at balancing things out, if I were up for it. I merely see a preponderance of people or otherwise spamming Biden step down content without proposing a solution, and I see it as propaganda and a direct assist to Trump. So if anyone wants to help destroy our fucking country, please, continue to downvote any objection and obfuscating any positive direction the democrats might have.

quick edit: I think I’m reacting to a fate already sealed and pissing in the wind, likely. Better to watch the remnant embers of what constituted American representative government be extinguished since the people seem very invested in that. Whether they realize it or not, they are in aid of fascism and their own demise.

Wow. So the user that does the lion’s share of the posting on news/politics on lemmy.world (from what I’ve observed) states his confound knowledge of the private conversations of POTUS. The very same lemmy.world that has an overwhelming amount of posted coverage of democrats urging Joe Biden to step down, to an arguably oppressive degree. Without a replacement even considered aside from VP Harris. Four months before a presidential election. With the known American attention span. Smells awful.

For the love of all that is holy, vote blue in November to avoid immediate Fascism and CONTINUE to press for our rights and dignity as human beings!

Not only are they in the process of openly subverting the Constitution of the United States, they are openly calling for violence. When declared powerful adversaries call for violence publicly, every option is on the table. Collective self defense may be necessary, and they may yet regret it.

The United States Supreme Court is corrupt and illegitimate.

Here is a link to the Mastadon post where I saw this first, since this link is showing as non-secure.

Hah sorry, former redditor here, posting on title alone. That is truly wild but also makes perfect sense.

Didn’t know they were having an Eve Online event.

In a better world, what she did would be a crime. Shit, it might be one in this world. Just not one that will be prosecuted.

You’re not supposed to tell us you’re playing both sides!

Hah! I understood both of those references.

Well, I’m not gonna lie to you.

It’s hard to riot when it’s not right in your backyard, and you’re not networked/less social, propaganda that encourages indifference or ignorance. America has a seriously systemic social problem. You’re definitely right, though.

What’s it called when you sell something you don’t own?

Kill all the humans. (That is a Futurama reference)

It was a Simpson’s reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xop8QLIJCpY

I should have known I’d be downvoted for that. Was just hoping folks would figure out that I was decrying lobbying but I guess I gotta explain myself better.

But yea, legitimate democracy is kind of a pipe dream outside of ancient Greece. I’d say people in the United States live under a crony-capitalist dominated representative republic. I wish we lived under a socialist-capitalist representative republic with short term limits and built in incentives for education and voter participation. We can all have our dream.
